Notice the remains of the often overlooked hut circles, then leave the beach activity and walk past hidden coves and dramatic rock formations to the rugged headlands of Penrhosfeilw common. This forms part of the RSPB nature reserve and in addition to being an exhilarating landscape to walk in, has rare plant and butterfly species.

Seals and gannets are visible at times, the rare chough is present all year. Wild flowers are abundant in spring and summer.

Walk from sea level at Porth Dafarch beach, right to the top of Holyhead mountain (an overall height gain of 220 metres).This route covers some of the most dramatic coastal scenery of Anglesey with its unique birds, wild flowers and marine life. There are some particularly good locations to spot dolphins, porpoises, seals and coastal birds along the way.

Views of South Stack lighthouse, the ancient hut circles and in good visibility, the coast of Ireland and Isle of Man make this a very rewarding walk.

This is a unique opportunity to explore all of Holyhead mountain. Although close to the port of Holyhead, the mountain has a wild and remote feeling environment, it is easy to become disorientated in the maze of paths.

The planned route includes all the main points of interest and lesser known, often missed features.

Walk along the rocky coast looking for seals and porpoise sightings, possibly black guillemot too. The industrial heritage is fascinating on this port side of the mountain. We head to North Stack where sea watching can be very rewarding. Then the steep climb to the ruins of the Roman watchtower and the summit of Holyhead mountain.
